Two months. Not that long, Mandy supposed. But Billy should have come crawling to her a week and a half ago. This could only mean one out of two possible outcomes. One: Billy's mad. Two: Billy's stupid. Though if Mandy came to terms both answers are acceptable in the puny working mechanics of the roasted seed he calls a brain. It made sense for him to reason the way he does, sort of. Still, she was shocked he had not made the first move yet.

Mandy supposed she had miscalculated just a little bit. When there was a knock on her door three days later she thought maybe that was all to it and Billy was just taking his time, of course he would get prideful at the worst of moments.

"Wickeddy, yo, how's my gurl?"

Or maybe she was complete wrong.

Mandy shut the door right at Erwin's face.

"Who was that?" Grim called out from the bathroom in the hallway where he normally started his weekend chores.

"A pest." Mandy said as she strode to the couch, turning the television as a way to drown out the overwhelming anger that consumed her. She had been wrong, utterly wrong. What is taking so long? Could it be that Billy was really angry at her? But his accusations are so far fetch. He knows how she is, so why is he expecting her to be any less. What does he want her to do?

Mandy heard Grim tsk inside the bathroom. "I wouldn't be surprise if Billy send him here to spy on yous."

Suddenly there was a tap on the window next to the door and outside was Erwin staining her window glass with his filthy lips as he simultaneously wink his eyes. Now that was wicked. But Grim's words rang some truth deep in her unconscious. Moving fifteen minutes away had gave her the advantage of getting rid of Erwin from her hair, since then she had not seen him. Until now.

Mandy guess that love can't triumphed in the longest of distance, as most would say. Even if it is just fifteen minutes away.

That only meant one thing.

Mandy stood in one swift movement, trying not to overkill her thoughts with what she was tempted to do to the boy outside her house. This was her opportunity, since Billy and Erwin still attended the same school she could get valuable information she hadn't drawn out of Billy himself, and she couldn't risk herself sabotaging that because years apart from Erwin still hadn't rid her of the disgust she felt towards him.

Mandy knew that what she did was very uncharacteristic because the moment she opened the door Erwin opened his eyes in shock and something else… and she dreaded all.

"Come inside," she muttered, trying to swallow the bile rising up in her throat.

"Wickeddy, wha-"

"Just do it, before I punch you in the face. And trust me, I've missed that."

"What's all the ruckus, child? Can't you see-"Grim rounded the corner, then narrowed his eyes when he saw Erwin. "What is that devil doing here?"

"More like Gollum from Lord of the Rings." Mandy muttered, Grim's question bringing her attention back to Erwin. She tried not to glare at him, if this was going to work she had to endure whatever Erwin could spas- if that was even a word to describe what he does- off his sleeve. "And Erwin here came to help me with something very important."

"Oh…" Mandy withheld the urge to gag at the - attempt, really, because that is all it was- smoothing surprised sound his voice took. "And what is that? Some kissing lessons? "

Mandy squinted her eyes then plastered the most sincerest smile. Not. "Yeah, because your lips are going to be soooo numb." Her face fell completely and so did Erwin who had a goofy victorious smile at her earlier words. "From the anesthesia the doctors are going to use to reconstruct your stupid mouth. Because I'm going to beat your face in, got it, Romeo?"

Erwin's voice wavered like it did when they were kids and he wanted out of Billy and her adventures. "T-then why did you brought me inside, y-yo?"

Mandy pushed Erwin to sit on the couch. "You're going to tell me everything."

"What-what are you talking about?"

"I wouldn't act stupid if I were you. We can either do this the easy way or the hard way." Mandy said. "And both ways aren't looking so great for you."

"I… I-" he seemed to consider.

"Spill before some of your organs do."

Erwin burst out crying. Then he opened his mouth.
